Discovery strikes new sublicensing Olympic deals in Eastern Europe

RTVS and RTV, the public-service broadcasters in Slovakia and Slovenia, have acquired rights for the Olympic Games.

The rights for the 2018 winter Olympics in PyeongChang and the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo were acquired in a sublicensing deal with international media and entertainment company Discovery Communications, the parent company of pan-European sports broadcaster Eurosport.

RTVS and RTV will provide free-to-air and non-exclusive coverage of both events across television and online platforms.

The deal includes selected digital rights and clips for news programmes.
